The whisky was medium yellow-golden in colour (non-natural) and offered floral notes, citrus, tropical notes, dried stone fruit, a hint of banana, nuts and a hint of smoke on the nose. On the palate the fruity whisky showed apple, citrus, dried stone fruit, nuts, some toffee, some chocolate, a hint of smoke and some sherry, with a good, creamy mouthfeel, warming alcohol and very good length. The medium-bodied whisky was sweet, smooth, fruity and creamy and drank well. Easy to like. Whisky for breakfast? This would be it! Body 5.5/10, Smoke 2/10, Sweetness 6.5/10.

Quoi de mieux que de se retrouver dans un lieu de galet, le regard perdu dans l'horizon, le corps enrobé des odeurs salines de la mer? Profitez-en pour rêvasser sur votre avenir et ce que la vie vous réserve. Et si vous avez ce Glenmorangie entre les mains, c'est surement que vous allez passer une merveilleuse soirée.
Three Sherried Whiskys: Glenmorangie Dornoch, Amontillado Butt Finished, 43% Light amber / light tea colour. Nose: Not very pungent, rounded, butter caramel (but still rather dry), wood, spices, some fruitcake. Even just a few drops of water seem to literally water down the nose of this whisky. Taste: Fruity, a bit spicy, initially quite dry. Fruitcake, wood tannins. Not very complex. Sweetness arriving in the finish, which is long. With a few drops of water it retains and even increases its wood spiciness and the finish seems less sweet. Overall: Nose and finish are its best features. Add no (or very, very little) water to this one.
